I'm new here so go easy on me but this did seem like a good place to get some advice...My wheelbarrow has had a flat tyre for some time now and late last year I bought an inner tube to fix it.…Continue

"Yes we found that with our first 3 chickens; the one who seemed in charge to begin with - she seemed to be the eldest and mothered the other two to start with - became less dominant with time. "

"Chickens do sometimes play 'follow my leader', probably because they think they might be missing something. It's possible they all felt the urge to look around the nest box in preparation for when they start nesting. However, chickens…"

Bedtime for chickens

I should say right at the start that we are new to keeping chickens and have only had our 3 for a few days but we have been enjoying the learning process immensely!However there is one question that came up and we haven't been able to easily answer - why did all our chickens decided to head back into the coop for a mid-afternoon "nap"? It wasn't too cold, there was no rain and nothing was about to scare them so does anyone have any ideas?See More

"Okay, I give up on this puncture repair nonsense. Once I finally got it properly patched and it was looking good for holding the pressure... the tube and tyre were such hard work that I ended up accidentally poking another hole in the inner tube!…"

"You're right of course, I'll give the puncture repair kit one last go before I resort to the emergency tyre repair stuff. I have the sneaking suspicion that the inner tube is fine and I'm just being too heavy handed when fitting…"

"I bought one of the cheapo wheelbarrows out of B&Q and had a puncture late last year. I got out the puncture repair kit found the puncture and fixed it and it has been as good as new. Saved me getting a new wheel/wheel barrow. I would persevere…"
